Blick Concerto Wood Frames

Elegantly hand-crafted and finished with closed corners, the Concerto has a timeless look and appeal reminiscent of old-world European frames.

The distinctive finish on the "crackle" frames is achieved by applying a quick-drying paint over a slow-drying paint — no two frames are ever the same!

Frame depth is ½".

Note — Hanging hardware not included.

Frame Depth — The depth of a frame refers to the depth of the frame's rabbet (the cut-out area behind the frame's molding that holds your artwork in place). To find a frame that will accommodate your artwork, measure the depth of the artwork, including any matting or mounting materials, and order a frame with a depth that is, at a minimum, the same as that measured depth.

Frame Dimensions — Frames are sized by the opening, not by the outside of the molding. To determine the size of frame to order, measure the outside of your artwork, including mat, and order that size frame. The frame will overlap your artwork ¼" all the way around, so your artwork will fit nicely behind the frame's molding.

Open Back Frames — These frames are meant to be hung on the wall and are sold as just the frame face. They are not shipped with backing material, glazing material, or hanging hardware. The open back frames are commonly used for traditional profile stretched canvases.

I have bought the gold espresso concerto wood frames a number of times and am always happy with them. That bit of gold that frames my paintings is just right. The espresso is a good alternative to black.

I was a little disappointed that it arrvied with a very noticeable scuff on one side. Easy enough to touch up. I ordered a similar sized frame from an online frame store and it arrived unusable with the corners completely coming apart, so at least the Blick frame arrived in useable condition (with a little touch up). I would only purchase again if I'm putting in a large order so I can get free shipping, otherwise I prefer to see the frame in person before purchase.

I have purchased the Concerto Gold Espresso to frame my pastels for plein air events. My paintings look great in them! The frames have enough rabbet space for glass, spacers and boards or foamcore. They look just like similar but more expensive frames I've seen. I have had to return some of them due to defects but the company has always been true to keeping customers satisfied and have replaced them in a timely manner. Just order with plenty of time in case of returns.

I use the black crackling with gold trim for pastels. These frames are deeply rabbeted enough for the artwork, backing, spacer and glass. They are a bit larger than the artwork in dimension so it's not a struggle getting your artwork into the cavity like it is with Aaron Bros. computer cut frames; which have no tolerance at all. With their frames if the paint or stain is a little too thick, the glass won't fit, let alone the artwork! I always buy the Blick frames when they are on sale! Even if I cannot afford it! Thank goodness for paypal credit!

This frame is solidly built and a good buy for the price. I was expecting it to be a dark, dark brown since it's called Espresso, but it's black with a gold lining. Very nice and professional looking though.
